Coats. I know they’re a hit in Europe or New York, but in my hometown they’re barely used. I bought this back when I was in Europe. My wardrobe was unprepared for the minus zero temperatures of France, place where I was living at the time. Despite me layering coat after coat of the ones I had brought with me from Mexico, they just weren’t enough. So when I saw this basic garment on the H&M of Nice I didn’t hesitate and bought it. After that, we became inseparable: it was incredible how such a fabric could successfully face the cold from places like Lyon, Paris and Barcelona. Years later and back in Mexico, this baby only sees the light like twice a year…yesterday was one of those days. Don’t let the sun fool you, at 5ºC in Monterrey I was freezing, and my loyal H&M Coat came to the rescue once again!
